Transferring a domain name from one company to another commonly entails the use of a unique transfer authorization code, which different companies refer to as an EPP key, a domain password or an AuthInfo code. This code can be used as a protection measure against unapproved transfers with all gTLD and with most ccTLD extensions. It can be obtained only by the owner of the specific domain and is issued by the present registrar. It must be given to the new registrar company because the transfer procedure cannot be initiated without it. The code is case-sensitive and often includes numbers and special characters, so as to prevent unauthenticated persons from guessing it. Some registrar companies even reset the codes of domain names registered through them from time to time for better security.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Website Hosting

Getting the EPP transfer authentication code for any domain name registered through us under a shared website hosting account is remarkably easy. You will not have to switch between different admin consoles, as you can manage both your domain names and your shared web hosting account from one and the same place – our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. To get the EPP transfer code for any domain name, you only have to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the small EPP icon, which will be situated to the right of any domain whose extension supports transfers with a code. Our system will send the code to the domain name registrant’s email immediately. If you wish to edit the email, you can do it from the same section of the Control Panel with just several clicks of the mouse.

EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer code with just one single mouse click, in case you decide to transfer it to a different domain name registrar. All it takes to do that is to sign into your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, to visit the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain. Of course, such a button will be available only if the respective generic or country-code TLD extension supports transfers with an EPP transfer code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that includes the EPP code will be sent to the domain name registrant’s email address associated with that domain name. You can change the latter via the exact same section of the Control Panel – if the one that’s presently listed in the WHOIS register is not valid. Since the change will take effect without delay, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
